And that's really cute. The best of atheism can be summed up as cute, ironic, and cynical ditties from an ivory tour, that has no real connection to life, and is out of touch.
It's all just huff and puff, smoke and mirrors. That no one, not even actual atheist take anymore seriously then a game at an amusement park. It's all just phony and inauthentic.
While the best of religion, exist right there in the most deeply felt aspects of life, a slave filled with elation over a hymn, or a mother weeping in prayer, in gratitude, in forgiveness, in love, redemption, mercy, in suffering, and transcendence. While the atheist is left staring outside himself, infatuated with some view of an objective world, unoccupied with the life of man.
The bloke immediately up thread ask you for a reason to believe. Now give it your best shot. No waffle, no gibberish and no lengthy screeds concerning theology.
Now, does god exist? Show your working.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
